## Resource

On today’s pages, Chullin 17 and 18, the Talmud pauses a technical legal discussion to tell a deeply human story. A rabbi upholds the law and punishes a man who violated communal norms, but then works behind the scenes to help restore him before his family suffers. The result is a powerful portrait of leadership rooted not in ego or vengeance but in wisdom, restraint, and care for others. What happens when justice remembers to make room for love? Listen and find out.
